AS Roma V/s Juventus

It's the second game of the Serie A 2015-2016 season, and the clash is between two Italian giants-AS Roma and Juventus. 

In the last match, Juventus had a shocking defeat when Udinese defeated them at their home 1-0, on the other side AS Roma scored a late equaliser and settled the game for a draw.

For now, AS Roma and Juventus do not have the start they wanted. AS Roma are above Juventus after the first match on the points table. Roma would try to win this to stay above the last year champions.

Juventus has to win this match to regain their winnings to top the table this time even. 

Roma put a strong run in the last month of the previous season to qualify for the Champions League. Last year's finalists Juventus are yet to win a match. 

Juventus have lost their Key players like Andrea Pirlo, Carlos Tevez and Arturo Vidal. All three were nominated for the 35-man list of best footballers in Europe. But they still have life in them to win the title this year also.

Dzeko and Mohammed Salah will be a boost for AS Roma.
